20 Feb 01 - 05:04 PM (#402439) Subject: I gotta Boogy From: DonMeixner Hello All I need to learn some old boogy type tunes for the band I am in. Basic stuff, 1,4,5 tunes like Blue Suede Shoes. Or song with the same feeling. Give me a list of you top three favorites if you please but be gentle, I'm so far away from Boogy Woogy I doubt I can even spell it right. Don |

A boogy in the UK is a snot up a nose, not sure what you call it in the US. When kids say I got a boogy. you tell them to get a hankie and not to pick it but in this case it should be picked with a plectrum. |

I need the American equivalent. Thanks LR, how I forgot about Shake Rattle and Roll I can't guess. When it comes down to nasal mucosa we in the Ontario mud flats called em Boogers. Don |

I offer Whole Lotta Shakin/Flip Flop & Fly/Roll em Pete/Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy as starters. Most of Louis Jordan has a boogie beat, today Jools Holland is carrying the torch on, and of course, the Killer himself, Jerry Lee Lewis, is still massacring pianos everywhere .
